64 2 Speed Auto to 3 on the tree

[keeks69]

I have to 2 speed in my 64 right now i want to put the tree on the tree in for a more fun driving experience without making the middle of the bench uncomfortable. I live in the country and would like some suggestions on a transmission that would work on the tree but have closer to an O/D gear so its not screaming going down the road. But still want to b able to peel the tires in first. let me know please!! your help is awesome thanks and also the procedures to do so would be sweet!

harder to find, but there are some 3 speeds with o/d

A manual 3 speed will only marginally reduce your freeway rpm over the old automatic 2spd. Only because there's a bit of hydraulic slip in the automatic. The reduction probably won't be too noticeable however, and the 3 speed won't tolerate too many clutch droppin' peel outs before it gives out. Consider an automatic like the 700 r4. You get the best of both worlds, a low 1st and an overdrive 4th. When built and installed properly they can handle some abuse too.

I hear nothing but great things from the turbo 400 and the 700r4. My 65 has a 3 on the tree and it pops out of 3rd gear none stop. In 40 miles it popped out 18 times. After that I figured out I had to leave my hand on it to keep it in gear. I'd give you mine if I a had a 400 or 700
